I've just finished putting a broken dishes together. 884 little blocks. I think I was marginally insane when I thought of making this, but I'm really glad I did. I'm loving the effect. I'm thinking I might put a navy blue border around all of it.
Now my question is...how would you quilt this? The pattern is kind of busy, so I don't want to make it so it hurts your brain to look at it.
Whaddya think?

Also, I would piece the binding using 2-3 of the fabrics used. Such as dark blue, light blue, gold. I would make the dark binding change color when it came to the lighter blue, and then I would change the color again to the gold binding when I got to those two big corner edges. Not hard to do, but a bit more time consuming. I think it would enhance the quilt overall.
I hope to see the finished product!! :-)

That"s what really surprised me as I made it. Sometimes I look at it and see pinwheels, and sometimes I see hourglass, broken dishes....blink and your perspective changes. I really didn't expect it at all.

Tartan: Thanks for the link as I am going to be making a triangle quilt in Ombre Greys as a wedding quilt and this really would bring it up a notch !

Oh My Goodness!!! Wow!!! My hat is off too you - what a phenomenal job. As for quilting, I would not want to do anything that would distract from this outstanding work. Perhaps just a basic diagonal pattern as far apart as possible, enough to hold without being obvious. With my morning coffee, I toast to you 'what a great job to stick with this quilt!'
